The signs it is semi-legit (for new folks)

[Deleted member 73937]

I figured that though most of you will know, it is useful for new folks to post some signals to pick up on that there may be more on offer than just the massage bit.

1. The place is open 7 days a week till 9pm or later. Most formal legit massage RMTs have a life after work, so these would normally close early evening and often on Sundays.
2. The website is not very specific, doesn't provide any medical info and has just some stock photos that were copied from the internet.
3. The name of the place has the word "Wellness" in it. Don't know why but a lot of Asian semi legit massage places go for that.
4. The price of the massage is around $50 - $70 per hour. An actual RMT massage is (sadly) a lot more expensive usually.
5. The attendants are dressed casually.
6. The only question you get asked if you want a massage and how long.
7. Nobody asks any questions about medical history.
8. Nobody asks any questions about any specific problems you want to have taken care of
9. There's no receptionist, the attendants take care of that.
10. The towel to cover up with is the size of a postage stamp or non-existing at all
11. There's a super size box of tissues in the room
12. The massage is either feather light and mindboggling boring repetitive, or so strong it makes you want to yell "stop, I confess"
13. The masseuse pays attention to your bum more than anything else
14. The masseuse pays a lot of compliments about your body, even if you are the size of a whale.

Not saying all of the above is always the case every time but it does usually provide a clue.

and the lady says.....you want more...what you spend?
